Your cats and dogs have provided entertainment and comfort throughout the pandemic, and we're delighted to showcase them in this lovely line-up.

As we continue to spend time at home due to Covid-19 restrictions, our pets are certainly enjoying having us around and your pictures show them making the most of every moment spent together.

Nicole Courage sent us a picture of her cat Agatha, who enjoys playing fetch with her toy mouse and watching TV.

Liam Husband's Labrador Bear apparently likes to "eat anything, chase anything, sleep."

Dexter, a Maine Coon, enjoys sleeping in the sun, according to owner Michelle Green.

Paddling in the stream at Upton Country Park is the favourite activity of Dawn Henley's Labrador Retriever Teddy.

He also enjoys cuddles.

Dawn said: "Teddy is very loving, he can always put a smile on my face and he is always happy to see you. He definitely makes life worth living."

Mark Self's Scottish Terrier Monty, aged six, loves "spending time with his master, wherever that takes the pair of them."

We also say hello to mother and daughter Lilibeth and Maggie May, two "adorable" Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Dave the pug, Ozzie the Persian cat and an amazing Samaritans volunteer.

Mandi Barron sent us a picture of her cat Dotty, who has been described as a lockdown miracle.

Mandi said: "Her origins are unknown; we found her wandering around in February 2020 and unable to find her owner, so we adopted her. "Dotty was diagnosed with cancer last July and was given a couple of weeks to live. She’s still with us, my little lockdown miracle."
